5 Musts When Setting Relationship Standards
We’ve all heard that we need relationship standards when we’re dating, but sometimes that’s easier said than done. When some people think of relationship standards, they jump straight to ‘the list’ of things they want in a partner. The old cliche is to want a man who is tall, dark and handsome. The list of attributes you want in a romantic partner is not the same as the standards you set for a relationship. Relationship standards are a reflection of the standards you are really setting for yourself, and what you think you are worthy of when looking for love. I have read Matthew Hussey’s book Get the Guy multiple times.…

The Perfect Morning Routine for the Winter
My morning routine is my favorite part of the day! I love to wake up, enjoy the sun, and spend some me-time before I start my day (If you’ve ever read about my solo dates, you know that I love any excuse for me time). But now that winter has set in, it’s dark when I wake up so it’s harder to get out of bed. There are days I want to hit the snooze button and stay under the warm covers. However, mornings are my most productive time during the day so I HAVE to wake up. If you struggle to get up and get motivated when it’s dark…

Your Ultimate Guide to Help Choose Your Career Path
Growing up, I was told to choose a career that will make me happy in life instead of one that will make me money. Although I don’t disagree with this career path, I think it needs to be said with caution especially if you’re a creative type, like myself. You have to look at a bigger picture when you choose your career path. One thing I have learned as an adult is no one can teach you to be creative. If you are a painter, you are a painter. If you are an actor, you are an actor. Taking classes to better your craft is always a good idea, but…

15 Things That Make You Rich in Your Twenties
I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude lately–coming up to November, how cliche, I know. I just finished The Secret by Rhonda Byrne which talks about being grateful for the things you have now and expectant of the blessings that are to come. If you’re interested in using the ideas in The Secret, read my article about how to get exactly what you want. I helped out at the food pantry this week and my gratitude list hit home. There are so many things that make you rich, right now. As a society, we like to complain about being poor, especially in our twenties. We joke that we’re broke college…

How to Stop Being a Prisoner of Perfection
I am a HUGE prisoner of perfection–if I didn’t have a 3 letter middle name, it might be perfectionist. But perfectionism isn’t going to help me achieve my goals. If anything, it’s going to put them off FARTHER in the future. Do you ever feel like this? You want things to be perfect before you presenting anything to the world. You’re afraid to showcase something people are going to disapprove of or judge or have something negative to say about. We get consumed with our perfectionism because following through with our project makes us very vulnerable. It’s even be harder with all of our social media! But we need to…

The 5 Best Sweet Potato Recipes
Some of my favorite meatless dishes include many sweet potato recipes. I used to eat mostly vegetarian (I say mostly because once in a while I’d cook something with chicken). Since most of my meals consisted of vegetables, I needed a way to feel full and satisfied so I wouldn’t feel starved in a couple of hours. That’s when I discovered sweet potatoes and how amazing they are! Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A, B6, C, and D. As well as a good source for potassium, magnesium, and iron. They’re good for the immune system and they won’t increase your blood sugar (I swear this isn’t an ad for sweet…
